Initially selected forty years ago by Luther master Theodore G Tappert, "Selected Writings of Martin Luther" makes available again a superb collection, in an attractive and affordable edition of four volumes, now beautifully presented as a boxed set, an ideal gift for celebrating seminary graduation, ordination, clergy anniversaries, and more. Here are Luther's most important and influential writings - from his (1517) 95 Theses to his last Prefaces to the Bible - compiled chronologically into four volumes: his early writings (1517-1520), the fruitful years of controversy (1520-1523), the years of consolidating and shaping the Reform (1523-1526), and his mature work (1529-1546).Built from the translations prepared for "Luther's Works: American Edition", this selection presents whole works in their historical setting. While emphasizing the classic works, this collection includes the full variety of Luther's literary and religious writing: polemical and irenic, satirical and contemplative, academic and devotional. This attractive set will function as a ready reference, a wonderful gift, a way for students and lay persons to read the original documents in authoritative translation, and a marvelous means of encountering the man himself.

This is a useful resource for anyone interested in Luther's theology. Tappert has selected representative works from the life of the Reformer and arranged them chronologically in four neat volumes. In his selection, Tappert has concentrated on shorter writings, which are printed in full, unabridged texts. This means that those who already own Luther's longer writings such as his Commentaries and the 'Bondage of the Will' need not fear unnecessary duplication in this set. The four volumes are well-presented in an attractive slipcase with covers featuring portraits of Luther from the period covered by each volume. This set looks good in the study as well as being useful.
